Ant General

(FireFox 3.x has performance problems. I got them partially fixed in the FF3 version but if you can, then use another browser)

Take the sugar to guide your troops to reach the sugarpiles!

Controlling the general is done by:
- Clicking on the place to walk.
- Walking over an item to pick it up.
- If you are carrying an item you can click on the hand in the upper right corner to drop that item.

The game requires a modern browser with HTML5 canvas support and a fast JS runtime.

I managed to beat the second level without carrying sugar, and running at 3 fps in firefox. I just zipped right past all the bugs and got the whole sugar stash for myself. Model general. Perhaps the goal should be to get N (or any) troops to the sugar, rather than just yourself? Looks pretty though.

Amazing little game. Awkward to control units indirectly but then that's what makes the game challenging. Gets a little clunky when everything's all clustered into one area. Nice graphics. Very well done. I enjoyed it quite a lot!

Nice visual treatment, but the soldier ants didn't seem all that helpful - they all got killed halfway through the first level and I sprinted the rest, then on level 2 I didn't see any sugar so just sprinted with a sunflower.

I had trouble playing this on ff.. It works great on IE9. looks pretty great too but I was disappointed when it ended after the second level. It seems like all you do is lead ants to battle.. but it is fun. You don't actually 'order' the ants to affect battle strategy.. which could be interesting.

My suggestions, (1)have surviving ants, gain xp so you can gather a small but trusted group of elite(high lvl) ants to use in the later levels.(2)Add later levels.
(3)Give ants different roles?
